Last May, liberal Times columnist Tom Wicker and conservative columnist William Safire agreed that socialism was cruel and against human nature. Safire damned socialism as "anti-city, anti-civilization, anti-freedom." But using the rigors of Cambodian socialism to warn Americans away from considering alternatives to capitalism here is dishonest; we face vastly different--and potentially far better--conditions for changing our economic system. But the press' treatment of Cambodia is no isolated instance; coverage of Allende's Chile, and of Portugal today would reveal similarly distorted coverage. Why? A.J.

...sorry I smoke. I realize it is bad for me, fear it may eventually kill me and have unsuccessfully tried to give it up many times.

Most of the country's 18 million blacks, in fact, were unable to see the programs because they live in urban slums and rural townships without electricity. One African, who won a television set in a contest last year, was given a portable generator to operate it. After weeks of watching the test transmissions, he decided to sell the TV and keep the generator. Many whites, on the other...
